• Responsible for assisting the Senior Technicians with co-ordinating staffing arrangements for the Aseptic Service and to ensure appropriate skill mix and technical staff allocation throughout the department.
• To be aware and follow all departmental operating procedures and Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) guidance at all times, to ensure the quality of products provided to patients.
• To aseptically prepare products within the aseptic facilities, dispense medications for patients, and maintain high environmental standards and levels of accuracy.
Milton Keynes University Hospital, in proud partnership with the University of Buckingham, is a University Teaching Hospital committed to advancing patient care through cutting-edge research and education. With a “Good” rating from the CQC and significant investment underway, this is an exciting time to join our team and grow your career.
As a medium sized general hospital, we provide a full range of general medical and surgical services, including a busy Emergency Department, Maternity, and Paediatrics. As the population of our city and surrounding areas continues to grow rapidly, we are expanding and enhancing our facilities to meet rising demand and improve access to care for all our communities.
We are also proud to offer a growing portfolio of specialist services. In January 2025 we opened our state-of-the-art Radiotherapy Centre, bringing advanced cancer treatment closer to home. Our services also include neonatology, specialist surgical care, and a wide range of diagnostics, supported by the new Community Diagnostic Centre at Whitehouse Health Centre.
Further investment is underway, including the construction of Oak Wards – a new ward block featuring two 24-bed wards – and the recently approved Women and Children’s Centre, set to open by 2030.
